Preview
Vancouver at Calgary

One step forward, one step back. Both the Calgary Flames and the Vancouver Canucks have been experiencing that feeling all season.

For one night, one of those struggling squads will take a step forward when the Flames play host to the Canucks on Wednesday night.

MATCH-UP INFO

Tonight marks the first of four meetings between the Canucks and Flames this season: Dec. 14

POWER PLAY PROWESS

Netting 24 power play goals on 76 opportunities in their last 22 games played, including two tallies on the man-advantage on Dec. 7 at SJS, the Canucks' power play ranks first in the NHL since Oct. 24, producing at a rate of 31.6%.

Canucks Game Day: Flames’ Markstrom may have found his moxie in Montreal

Drawing parallels with the confusing Calgary Flames was never supposed to be in the cards this season for the always unpredictable Vancouver Canucks.

However, with the Flames looking human after a stellar 111-point season in 2021-22, anything seems possible in the wacky Pacific Division. The Edmonton Oilers were fourth, the Seattle Kraken second after Monday night and the Canucks maintain the hope that eight wins in their last 12 games isn’t just a mirage.

This should not be a game where the Flames lose the goaltending battle.

Ideally based off of Markstrom's last two games, he may be getting back into form finally. If that's the case, then no matter who starts should perform better than the oppositions.

They'll just lose the scoring battle.

Spencer Martin has been better than Demko.

[Scroopy Noopers]

Back to some game times I can’t watch so they’ll probably go on a run.

[WhiteTiger]

Go Flames go!

[Russic]

According to an email from the Flames, this game might start at 8:15. Getting too old for this.

Yeah but he's still not been that good as his stats are pretty bad. The Canucks have scored a lot of goals in games he starts.

[Bonded]

Any word on Lindholm et al?

Hockey seems to be the only sport I watch that can't start on time. If you are going to have an 8pm mid week game, can't they at least move the ceremonies and anthems ahead of the hour and actually start at 8?

The pre-game shows can cover them on TV if people really want to see them.

9:15 here means I might see the first at best as I recover from COVID.

[activeStick]

10pm start time out here... Fun times!

Marky's getting his mojo back, so a game against his former mates is the perfect tonic.

No Phillips

That's a bummer. He was up for difficult games and I think with all the penalties etc he didn't get much of a chance to find his rhytm

[Reggie Dunlop]

Phillips probably sent down and a defenceman called up.
